Massdrop 75 Ortholinear Keyboard Minimialist Case/Frame

thingiverse

I was really looking forward to the new 75-key ortholinear keyboard from Massdrop, which features some amazing RGB LED underglow. However, they went and included an opaque case! So, I decided to create a simple, minimalist frame that would hold the circuit board and metal plate. Here's the link to the Drop: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/xd75-aluminum-mechanical-keyboard I used M4 threaded rod and M4 nuts to attach the pieces to the board. You can find this type of rod on Amazon, specifically at this address: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078HD5Z97. I already had some M4 nuts in my collection, but you should be able to find them on Amazon as well. I've also uploaded the openSCAD file that I created. Feel free to modify it to suit your specific needs and preferences. You can adjust the height and tilt of the frame to fit your requirements perfectly. The tolerances for holding the plate were quite tight, so I had to use a file to shave down the groove on one side of the print to make it fit my plate properly. The other side fitted without any issues, but I'm guessing that might have been due to some quirks with my printer. I know my openSCAD design method is pretty rough around the edges, but I didn't initially plan on sharing it with anyone. However, I figured it might be helpful for someone else out there, so here it is!
